Who are your "desert island 5?" (a totally frivolous post)

[Trek420]

thanks cwr, those are really good categories but guys?
do i have to?

since my island has bike trails I'll need someone who can keep me in shape, motivated and likes to ride a bike, can cook, and she knows massage so i'll pic knotted for my team thus saved 3 choices in one! ooh more choices now. :::rubs hands together, thinks:::

since I'm not ms. fix-it, I'll take my plumber, she seems to be able to fix most anything, she's smart and lefty, she was saying the country's going to heck in a handbasket and she'd like to leave so might not mind being stuck on the island. My friend Tammy is more the Jill of all trades but I don't know if either of them can fix bikes and that's important on my island so DebW can you be stranded with us?

Now who needs to clean and keep everything in order? It's an island for gosh sakes the Queen's not showing up for lunch

We'll need a gardener and I pick Vita Sackville West or if she's not available then M. F. K Fisher. Both cook, garden .... and write. I'll need a lot of stuff to read.

So now I'm on an island, riding, eating spam and lentils, soaking in the hottub the plumber built, helping Vita or M. F. K with the weeding and reading what they write what else to do?

I'll want to draw, might as well catch up on the drawing ... my favorite artist really is Alexander Calder but I'm on a roll here....I pick Mary Cassat plus she sould teach me French, might as well pick up a language. What are we on, 4?

We need music so I'll bring my best friend Theresa she plays just about anything.

Oooh Oooh other gals get 6, I'm getting 6....the gardens are fine but what am I a vegan?! (apologize to any vegans on board) but I'll want meat and fish so Chickwhorips can you clear your schedule to be on the island with us? Knotted sez you'll get massage (and lessons in French, concerts, access to the hot tub....)
